Seth, i noticed the same thing. I am sorry I know kits have come along way but I can't see them consistently beating out juice in this contest.

Right, but at the same time I think it is a bit of a stretch to say the comp is intentionally tilted in the Kit's favor.. ( however, it does not take too much imagination to see how that could be beneficial for WMM...) Perhaps a vast majority of all entrants are kits and thus lots of the high quality kits win or something... Perhaps that or the judges are looking for traits that the kits just so happen to be very good at delivering,.

Just my thoughts.

I think sometimes it's easier to tweak a kit to win a contest than to make from scratch. IMO ( take note I have never entered a contest )
